Sharp and simple graphics library

Blade

Blade is an innovative rendering solution for Rust. It starts with a lean low-level GPU abstraction focused at ergonomics and fun. It then grows into a high-level rendering library that utilizes hardware ray-tracing. It's accompanied by a task-parallel asset pipeline together with egui support, turning into a minimal rendering engine. Finally, the top-level Blade engine combines all of this with Rapier3D-based physics and hides them behind a concise API.

Examples

scene editor particle example vehicle example sponza scene

Instructions

Just the usual :crab: workflow. E.g. to run the bunny-mark benchmark run:

cargo run --release --example bunnymark

Platforms

The full-stack Blade Engine can only run on Vulkan with hardware Ray Tracing support. However, on secondary platforms, such as Metal and GLES/WebGL2, one can still use Blde-Graphics and Blade-Egui.
